How the working days in November 2028 are counted
Two federal holidays fall in November 2028: Veterans Day on Friday 10 November 2028 and Thanksgiving Day on Thursday 23 November 2028. Together they take two weekdays out of the count, leaving 20 working days from 22 weekdays. 11 November 2028 is a Saturday, so Friday 10 November is the holiday for most federal employees, under the rule in 5 U.S.C. 6103(b) that moves a Saturday holiday to the Friday before and, by executive order, a Sunday holiday to the Monday after. The Friday after Thanksgiving is not a federal holiday, so it counts as a working day here even though many employers close for it.
The rule is the same on every page here: count Monday to Friday, then take off any federal holiday that lands on one of those days. The holiday dates are the ones the US Office of Personnel Management publishes for federal pay and leave. State holidays, religious holidays and company closures are not included, and other countries have different lists entirely, so treat 20 as the federal baseline for November 2028 and adjust it for your own calendar.
November 2028 next to the months around it
November 2028 has 20 working days, one day fewer than October 2028 (21) and the same as December 2028. A 30-day month has 20, 21 or 22 weekdays depending on the day it starts on; a Wednesday start gives November 2028 22.
November is the second month of the fourth quarter. Q4 2028 has 61 working days in total: October 21, November 20 and December 20. That is 488 working hours for the quarter at 8 hours a day, out of 2,000 for the whole of 2028.

Questions people ask
How many working days are in November 2028?
20. November 2028 has 22 weekdays (Monday to Friday) and 2 federal holidays on a weekday, Veterans Day on Friday 10 November and Thanksgiving Day on Thursday 23 November, which leaves 20. Weekends, 8 days this month, are not working days. Business days in November 2028 are the same 20, running from Wednesday 1 November to Thursday 30 November.
How many working hours are in November 2028?
Working hours in November 2028 come to 160 at 8 hours a day: 20 working days times 8. On a 7.5 hour day it is 150 hours, and a 40 hour week over 22 weekdays with no holidays would be 176 hours.
Is there a federal holiday in November 2028?
Yes, two: Veterans Day on Friday 10 November 2028 and Thanksgiving Day on Thursday 23 November 2028. The date is the one OPM lists for federal pay and leave, which moves a holiday that lands on a weekend to the nearest weekday.
Are Veterans Day and Thanksgiving business days?
Not in the federal count on this page. Veterans Day 2028 falls on a Saturday, so the federal holiday is Friday 10 November. Thanksgiving 2028 is Thursday 23 November. As federal holidays, both are left out of the 20 business days in November 2028. Most federal employees have both days off; private employers set their own holidays, so a business that opens on them counts them as ordinary working days. The day after Thanksgiving, Friday 24 November, is not a federal holiday and is counted here, though many employers close for it.
What are the first and last working days of November 2028?
The first working day is Wednesday 1 November 2028. The last working day is Thursday 30 November 2028.
How many weekends are in November 2028?
8 weekend days: 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays. Eight is the fewest a month can have, so most of the month is working time.
